Closing the Loop Valorization of Industrial Waste of Composite Materials through Re-Design of Products from Detached Value Chains

Abstract The literature lacks methodologies to make supply chains of composite materials circular. proposed approach aims transform scraps and off-specification products into secondary raw materials. Its novelty is find innovative applications, instead re-introducing in the loop they come from. case study investigates how can be re-worked re-used as material. First, processes are analyzed; some components then re-designed made discarded (composites material). Results reveal that symbiosis ensure green, high performing products.
